I could go on.
California is definitely unlike every other state. It's like its own country. And like it or not, when 1/8 of the US population lives there, yes their laws wag the rest of the country.
You clearly didn’t understand what my “argument” was (and it wasn’t an argument, it was a statement). Ie, there is considerable political diversity in almost EVERY State. Even hard core Oklahoma has 33% Dems. They just happen to be spread out more evenly in Oklahoma than other states.
But if you look at the general trend, the nesting habits of Repubs tend to be the sparsely populated rural areas, those of Dems tend to be the big cities, and the suburbs are pretty much split. Nothing special about CA in that regard. It’s just bigger and more populous than most states.
